The Birth of Haptic Cinema
The Birth of Haptic Cinema An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Panhavuth Lau Jordan Stoessel Date: May 21, 2020 Advisor: Brian Moriarty IMGD Professor of Practice Abstract This project examines the history of The Tingler (1959), the first motion picture to incorporate haptic (tactile) sensations. It surveys the career of its director, William Castle, a legendary Hollywood huckster famous for his use of gimmicks to attract audiences to his low- budget horror films. Our particular focus is Percepto!, the simple but effective gimmick created for The Tingler to deliver physical “shocks” to viewers. The operation, deployment and promotion of Percepto! are explored in detail, based on recently-discovered documents provided to exhibitors by Columbia Pictures, the film’s distributor. We conclude with a proposal for a method of recreating Percepto! for contemporary audiences using Web technologies and smartphones. i Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... i Contents ........................................................................................................................................ ii 1.

'Geri-Action' Film
Narratives of cultural and professional redundancy: Ageing action stardom and the ‘geri-action’ film Glen Donnar (RMIT University) Abstract Focusing on The Expendables films, I identify the importance of discourses of professional and cultural redundancy in ‘geri-action’, an emergent subgenre of Hollywood action film that has revitalised the careers of ageing action stars such as Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. These redundancies, which hold long-standing significance in 1980s action film, are compounded in geri- action by advanced age and diminished physical capacity. In geri-action, the spectacle of once idealised, muscled bodies is concealed and displaced onto oversized guns, fetishised vehicles and younger action bodies. However much geri-action resists 1980s action stars’ use-by dates, it ultimately admits physical and generic exhaustion. Keywords: geri-action, Hollywood action films, ageing stars, Expendables The Rise of ‘Geri-action’ The release of a third Expendables film in 2014 extended the twilight of ageing 1980s action idols in the so-called ‘geri-action’ subgenre, that is, action films predominantly showcasing male stars ranging in age from their mid-50s into their 70s. The Expendables series (Stallone 2010; West 2012; Hughes 2014) features a motley team of elite mercenaries, led by Barney Ross (Stallone), recurrently motivated to take revenge on the all-star action villain after a local woman or beloved colleague is killed, injured or captured. The third film in the series adds such ageing action film luminaries as Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes and Harrison Ford (replacing Bruce Willis, who left the series after a conflict with Stallone) to the already extensive aged cast led by Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris. -
2 Nina's Rev Editor's Revision Heroic Aging in The
COPAS—Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies 15.1 (2014) “You Ought to Stop Trying Because You Had Too Many Birthdays?”—The Making of an Aged Hero in Rocky Balboa Nina Schnieder ABSTRACT: This article deals with one of Hollywood’s most popular (sport) action heroes, Rocky Balboa, who, after thirty years of screen history, increasingly has to face the obstacles of age in the last installment of the franchise. Although cultural assumptions seem to contradict the combination of aging and sports hero, the article claims that the athletic protagonist Rocky Balboa is actually perceived as a true American action hero by the depiction of his progressed age as a motivation to once again “go the distance.” The article focuses on the aspects of work and the aging male body and it aims to show how the Rocky series has always dealt with the issue of male aging. KEYWORDS: age/aging; Rocky Balboa; boxing; work; male body Introduction When in 2006 Sylvester Stallone announced to release a sixth and presumably last Rocky movie—written and directed by himself—critics as well as countless studio bosses advised him not to do so, because at sixty they did not picture him as a “magnet for young moviegoers” (Weiner). Before the movie was released, audiences laughed at the trailers and critics ridiculed the project as a joke, as they seemed to watch, according to Philippa Gates, “a vanity play to make an aging star feel vital and relevant to a new generation,” and they named it a ridiculous attempt to live up to former successes. -
Predicting Long-Term Box Office Performance of Movies Using Social Media and Its Comparison with Traditional Survey Methods
IJRRAS 26 (3) ● March 2016 www.arpapress.com/Volumes/Vol26Issue3/IJRRAS_26_3_03.pdf PREDICTING LONG-TERM BOX OFFICE PERFORMANCE OF MOVIES USING SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS COMPARISON WITH TRADITIONAL SURVEY METHODS Hossien L. Najafi1 & Darryl W. Miller2 1,2University of Wisconsin River Falls, 410 S. 3rd St., River Falls, WI 54022, USA ABSTRACT Recently, social media content has gained popularity as a viable resource for gauging consumers‟ intention to buy goods and services. For example, Twitter has been used with promising results by many researchers for predicting box-office returns for motion pictures. Alternatively and for many years, purchase intention (a type of behavioral intention (BI)) has been used for predicting likely levels of demand for new products, successfully measured through traditional surveying methods. This paper investigates how use of social media compares with the traditional surveying tools. Specifically, tweets about the movie are collected during the same period as surveys regarding intention to see a movie are administered. Traditional BI measures are compared with various measures of tweeting activity to gauge how well each correlates with domestic and international performance of a movie. The results show that the two methods are very comparable. The results also demonstrate that the rate and length of tweets are good predictors of a movie‟s long-term success. Keywords: Movies, Box-office forecasting, Social media, Survey methods, Prediction, Sentiment analysis, Natural language processing 1. INTRODUCTION The motion picture industry in the United States generates over US$12bn annually. The revenue per movie, however, varies significantly from one movie to another. Given the high production and marketing costs along with the considerable variance in the success rate of movies, forecasting box-office revenue as a means to mitigate the risk has gained popularity in recent years. -
